and surely in the winter window if given any sort of

21 RUNNERLESS STRAWBERRIES 
They make no runners, compact upright plants, orna¬ 
mental enough to have for that alone. Prolific fruitbearers 
from spring until latest autumn. Easy from seed sown 
while soil is cool, outside in late autumn, or at first pos¬ 
sible moment in spring. They will even bear first year, 
as though they were annuals, but they are hardy and 
soundly perennial. 
The fruits are smaller than those of the usual Straw¬ 
berry of the markets, but fragrant, and as to flavor, with 
just that sub-acid, sub aromatic piquancy to the honey¬ 
sweetness that makes one slowly savor them over the 
tongue. The fruits are long and pointed, mostly brilliantly 
carmine, but sometimes pink, creamy or pure white. Ex¬ 
cellent blend. Pkt. 20c.

Jungle Bird above the broad banana foliage. Not hard to 
grow from seed, if one will have a bit of patience. The 
seeds need some extra heat to start them, preferably from 
below. This may be given by putting over, but not in 
contact with, a radiator, or a lighted electric bulb may be 
covered by an inverted pan, and the pot in which seed is 
sown, placed above. Watch soil moisture; neither powdery 
dryness nor sogginess. After they once get a start, the 
plants are of easy culture, tolerant even of neglect.

start them. Seeds of Cacti are not included in either mix¬ 
ture. Pkt. 15c.
